WYCOMBE
Origin/meaning :
The Council does not have an officially granted coat of arms but the
Chairman's Badge of Office has a similar function.
The design is made up of symbols representative of the Council's area, and
starting at the top are:
A chequered diamond (representing "Chequers" the country home of British
Prime Minister).
An oak tree (representing the use of the oak in cabinet making particularly,
and in the furniture industry generally).
A semi-circle (symbolising the Chiltern Hills) with superimposed thereon,
the Whiteleaf Cross.
Two wavy lines (symbolising the River Thames).
